I think we are in good standing, but there is work to do. He seems to prefer the midwest judging by his offers and visits, so that can only help us. I think trust could play a big issue in where he goes, and with no Bo there today that can't help

Heavy, I'm confused by your post...."with no Bo there today". The article states that his visit was capped off by a meeting with Bo. You mean with Bo not showing Wright around campus himself?

Made a return visit to Indiana with his parents this time. Not a whole lot seems to have changed, doesn't name a favorite, and plans on a late July decision.
Down to UW and IU, IMO

Not sure where you are getting "not overly thrilled with UW" from. He has done very few interviews since the OSU debacle and when he does, he keeps things pretty close to the vest....conplimenting the schools, but giving little indication about who he is and is not "thrilled" with.
He's been to IU twice now....that's all we now for sure. Which seems to indicate that he is must have some interest in them. And yes, he has an IU offer.

In his interviews before he committed to ohio state you could tell how excited he was about the offer and even about committing. Granted it was his "dream" but he doesn't seem to have that excitement about any place as you said. My take on his interviews is that he is not wowed by any school yet just not uw. He wasn't this closed up before he committed to Ohio State.

Wright is attending the Lebron James Skills Academy this week. Now mind you only the top 80 kids get the invite so by him snagging an invite sais something about him.

Looks like he only measured out at 6'3.5"... Seems kind of short for a wing player.

is that with or with out shoes? Top of the head measurements mean nothing in basketball. Top of shoulders and arm length mean more.

The link says the heights were measured in sneakers and the weights without them. Your probably right about the top of shoulders and arm length though.

I would guess Vander not being invited has more to do with what AAU team he plays for than anything else. The LBJ camp is certainly a Nike event, so the vast majority of the players invited (if not all) are from Nike AAU programs. Vander did play some with a Nike team last summer (Illinois Warriors), but he has spent the majority of his time on the AAU circuit with smaller, non-shoe-company sponsored teams (Madison Spartans and now the Milwaukee Spartans). I think it's reasonable to assume that really hurt his chances of getting an invite.
